I have a few questions about this RP, if that's alright...

What's the level of technology in this world? Is stuff like cloning and genetic engineering in humans a thing? And how powerful are corporations in the world compared to the big factions?

Thank you!

I can answer the question as of now, since I don't believe Vulkan is on at the moment. (Note: I will probably get some stuff wrong, so take it with a pinch of salt in case I am corrected)

For technology, the city is about the same as it is now. The tech is about as advanced as 2015, but new technology is being constantly discovered by the scouts. As for why, the 6 minute war all but destroyed it all. As for human genetic editing, I can say there is a bit of it, but that's kinda a secret following one of my character :p

As for powerful corporations. The largest by far is of course the New Order. For others, you can check the character tab for the Nexus and the Lost, as well as the other PC factions. Other than that, there is only one main civilisation which the the city we all live in, and probably the most influential group besides new order was the Cabal.

Now, @Vulkan, pick this clean until it's all correct :3

@Preacher

I came on literally as you posted that @Vocab

Hes pretty much right though. Cloning and genetic engineering are being worked on, but theres nothing to write home about yet. Although if you make a character involving one of these things i might be persuaded to let it by.

As for factions...

The new order are the government of this world, and...well...arent the nicest people around. First OOC post and the IC should give you more info on that.

THe nexus are the most respected and widespread resistance faction. They are by far the only one though.

The lost are gangsters. Simple as that. Nothing criminal goes on in the city without them having a hand in it. They have the sense to remain neutral however.

Finally, the Cabal are the mysterious financiers and leaders of the former united resistance, known as "Utopia." Since...Utopia screwed something up very badly, as the first OOC post can describe, they have disappeared, with the New Order telling people that they are dead.

Another little thing about scouts and stuff. They dont just take technology. Anything that can tell them about old world culture is taken back as well. This includes books, music and even films. Yes, you can use a pop culture reference or two here.

The New Order like to put the message across that their civilization is an improvement over the last one. Therefore, the works found in the wastelands are screened and edited first to make the old world look...not great. They go as far as to make the old world look like an unimagniable hellhole, but they change bits here and there. Subtly.

Old war films and books are quite popular with the new order, as they barely need to edit them. This results in them being fairly popular in the city.

The lost make a MINT selling unedited stuff that they manage to steal.

I will likely be posting soon. Hopefully then this will be able to spur on the event a little quicker.

@VocabI've pretty much moved on from the Event, seeing as I was never going to be effected by it physically.

Eh, okay then. I think the event is taking place exclusively in the club, but you should be warned you may at some point be dragged into it. I know you have gone ahead, but just be aware that something may have you called in to "help" with what we have planned. Or even to help the enemy. Who knows? ^_^

@VocabI hope not XD

Right now he's still being forced to do experiments, rather than go out onto a combat field. His part was to basically scout out the entire section to allow the operation to take place, so I imagine his part is done.

Eh, okay. There is a certain test they would likely perform that would involve injecting you with deadly and experimental toxins to see if you are immune, but okay ^_^

Since I don't remember, I'll just list off what I'm thinking.

The experiment depends on what group he was taken by, and who they are affiliated with. If he was taken by the Lost, he would likely by given common but deadly toxins to test. The nexus would likely not care, and New Order would pull out all the stops. I'm not sure what each of the cells would do, but SOUL would try out a couple poisons and then execute him if he came out positive. Lost would probably keep him around, and the New Order would do something I cant say ^_^

If you want the specifics let me know.

Ok all, everything is about to hit the fan! If you dont want to be part of the attack, get out of there.

But if you arent sure what to do yet, stick around. I have plans. Interesting plans.

And a couple of those plans might involve me shooting people. Or at, depending on what's happening. Seriously though, you survive our little incursion and you maybe be lucky enough to get executed. I'd recommend taking a gamble ^_^
